My mom (Lukumi Yoruba priest by way of Cuba) went to Nigeria & sang praise songs to Obatala. They all said it was an ancient dialect you no longer hear except from the very old. Much of the knowledge was displaced, not lost. Our ancestors were preservative genius.

There have been cases of Nigerians going to Cuba to retrieve info/knowledge that is either scarce or does not exist in Nigeria anymore. Folks need to understand ENTIRE communities were wiped out/kidnapped and trafficked OUT of Africa ALONG WITH the knowledge those people had.

My mom @Oloriwaa1 me & my brother Olu singing those ancient songs. I’ve had modern Yoruba people say it’s incorrect, when it’s actually an ancient dialect they’re unfamiliar with. When we exchange instead of assume & judge the connections are so beautiful. We’ve all survived!!!

Not to be graphic but “You a mom.” Is just so funny to me because all that signals is that at one point she busted it wide, dropped it low, and left it in 😂. Why are mothers desexualized when in many cases, sex is the thing that makes you a mom? Why is everyone so puritanical?

RnB is alive & well! Unfortunately, the mainstream doesn’t reflect or promote the vast number of artists making great music across the range of RnB genres. And it’s still the source music for the most popular sounds of today. U just have to seek it out. Radio won’t do it for you.
